For the life of me I don't understand or agree with abutting or adjacent people living there, opposing a firehouse at that location.

A firehouse close to neighboring homes and businesses, in my opinion, should be comforting knowing 24/7/365 quick and rapid responses to local emergencies is a plus.

In some cases. with the coming and going of fire personnel, and on-site living quarters for every shift......fireman can spot a neighborhood problem before it becomes a major problem.

Corner of lowell Street and Somerville Avenue for many, many, years had an active 24/7/365 firehouse.

Firefighters, risking life and limb with every call, should be provided with the best the city can give them.A modern firdhouse free from the problems that have developed over the years at the Union Square cite.

No--I am not a firefighter; nor is anyone in my family.But if ever I and/or a member of my family needs help in a house fireI want a fireman coming thru the window or door as quickly as possible to render help.
